  • Publication number: 20040094889
    Abstract: An automated banking machine (10) includes sheet dispensing mechanisms (34, 36, 38, 40). Each sheet dispensing mechanism includes a picking member (72). The picking member rotates, with each rotation generally causing one sheet to be picked from a stack (42) of sheets. The picking member includes movable engaging portions supported on arcuate segments (128, 144). The engaging portions move radially outward to apply additional moving force to an end note bound in the stack responsive to movement of the picking member exceeding the movement of the end note. Sheets are carried in the machine by a transport (54) including a plurality of belt flights (174, 176, 178). Sheets are carried between the belt flights and projecting member portions (180, 182). At least one of the belt flights includes a plurality of longitudinally spaced projections (194, 200, 204, 207) on a sheet engaging surface thereof.

  • Patent number: 5050364
    Abstract: The invention disclosed here is an anchor bolt holder that is designed to be used in setting an anchor belt in a concrete slab. The holder is a two-part system having a base, and a sleeve connectable to a socket in the base. The sleeve is adapted to receive and hold an anchor bolt's shank. Prior to pouring the slab, the base is first mounted to the decking or forming surface that underlies the slab. After certain other pre-pour items have been installed over the decking, the sleeve is then plugged into the base's socket and supports the anchor bolt vertically. The combined function of the sleeve and base is to fix the bolt in position during both the pour and cure phases of the slab, so that the bolt is held vertically with its threads projecting above the slab's top surface. The sleeve has openings through its sidewall that are sufficiently large to allow wet concrete the bolt's shank within the sleeve.
